Last week I played in the Mexico Open on the Nationwide Tour. It was an exciting week for me as it was my first start of the year on the Nationwide Tour. I got ion the event on Monday afternoon around 1:30 while I was up in Charlotte getting ready to play in an eGolf event. I booked a ticket to get down to Leon, Mexico. I arrived into Leon around 10pm Tuesday night. Wednesday morning I went out to the course to walk the course as there were two Pro Ams so I was unable to get on the course for a practice round. I ended up just walking the front nine and getting some notes on the course from a friend of mine who had played it a couple days.
Thursday morning I woke up to a rainy Mexico, it hadn't rained since October! I teed off a couple hours later than expected but finished the round shooting a -3 69 on the day. I was very pleased with how I played considering I hadn't played the course before. The second round for me began on Friday night at 7:45pm! We had several storm delays and was only able to play one hole on Friday . I made a par and then went to bed for an early long day tomorrow where I would be playing up to 36 holes. We started Saturday morning at 7:45, I resumed my second round where I shot 72. I was still pleases with how I played, I made a few dumb mistakes some course management and a few three putts. I then stated the third round 30 min after finishing the second. I started on the 10th hole and got off to a good start. I was -3 thru 4 and was feeling good. I ended up the day when it got dark on the 17th hole where I hit a shot to an inch on a par 5 for a nice tap in eagle! We would have to wake up again to play the last. Now Sunday morning, I finished the 9th hole. Made a bogey unfortunately. Ended the day shooting -6, 66. It was a good moving day as I moved up the leaderboard nicely. I was sitting in the top 10 going into the final day. My final round tee time was 12:18. It was an exciting final round as I did play with the eventual winner of the event, but I also had my chances to make a good move to the top. It was a fun day for me in that I had some pretty good nerves throughout the round! I ended up shooting a 68 and finishing t4 in the event! Good first start and most importantly the finish will get me into next weeks event in Cincinnati, OH and into the Columbus, OH events! I will also get reshuffled by the money list a couple weeks later and will again get more starts on the tour! Overall the week helped me to get basically no starts on the Nationwide Tour this year to getting at least 10 this year! Looking forward to what is ahead!! Thanks for following and supporting me!
